Best Answer

Possums are essentially herbivorous and insectivorous, meaning they will eat a variety of foods. Possums' feeding habits range from omnivores (the Common Brushtail possum) to specialist browsers of eucalyptus (Greater Glider), insectivores (Mountain Pygmy Possum) and nectar-feeders (Honey Possum).

In the wild, they eat young shoots, leaves, flowers, nectar and fruit of a variety of trees and shrubs. They also feed on insects. They do not eat fish.

Possums also enjoy a feed of bread and honey put out by helpful suburban homeowners. However, it is best not to feed possums as they may become dependent on people for their food supply.

They tend to scavenge and have been known to eat pet foods.

Note: Possums are quite different animals from the 'opossums' of North America.

Possums have a varied diet and eat fruit, insects, snails, slugs, eggs, mice, rats, fish, frogs, and crayfish. Possums eat snakes, and are immune to all snake venom, except the venom of the coral snake.

No. True possums, which are marsupials found in Australia and on nearby islands, do not eat hamsters. There are no hamsters in Australia, and possums do not eat other mammals.
